RGU Club Notes

There were four nights of entertainment with events and activities for all age groups and interests, from zumba and magicians to the Wolfe Tones and George Jones. A very eclectic mix! The highlight was undoubtedly Saturday night when the Wolfe Tones played to a capacity crowd in the Marquee. It was all hands to the decks as everyone pitched to make this sure this was a thoroughly memorable event. Thank you to all who helped, contributed and attended. Watch this space as plans are already afoot for next year. The Seniors had a bit of a setback in the league when a second half comeback fell short as they lost to Ballyholland by a pt. Next up is a winner takes all match against Loughinisland in the Championship on Mon night at 8.30pm in Newcastle.
